...Rui Lin; Qiguan Wang; Xin Yang; Jianwen Huo Purpose In complex environments, a spherical robot has great application value. When the pendulum spherical robot is stopped or disturbed, there will be a periodic oscillation. This situation will seriously affect the stability of the spherical robot...

...Yangyang Dong; Tongle Zhang; Shaojie Han; Yipan Guo; Bo Zeng; Yongbin Wang; Zijian Zhang Purpose Spherical robot plays an essential role in the field of mobile robot because of its unique shape and omni-directional mobility, especially in the application of planet detection. Although spherical...

...Manlu Liu; Rui Lin; Maotao Yang; Anaid V. Nazarova; Jianwen Huo Purpose The characteristics of spherical robots, such as under-drive, non-holonomic constraints and strong coupling, make it difficult to establish its motion control model accurately. To improve the anti-interference performance...
